Sunglasses with MP3 player
March 8th, 2007
Thump – No, I didn’t just walk into a wall, that’s the name of these cool looking sunglasses from Oakley.
These are apparently the worlds first digital music sunglasses which offer you hi-fi sound with 100% UV protection.
It comes with a USB cable meaning that you can transfer music straight away without any configuration required.
The ear piece has no cords and the controls are built into the frame. I would love to know how easy that is to control when you are running or working out. If anyone has a pair of these glasses, let me know.
It’s a 512MB player which will give you approximately 120 songs (8 hours).
The glasses run on a lithium -ion battery and according to their website, that should give you approximately 6 hours playback on 3-hour charge, 4 hours playback on 1-hour charge. The USB cable will recharge your glasses when you connect to your pc.
The glasses are shatterproof and scratch-resistant Plutonite® and the frames are lightweight and flexible for long term wear.
The sunglasses will connect to either PC or Mac which is great to hear.
These look pretty sleek and I like the idea of having a piece of equipment that has dual purpose. I also really like the idea of having no cords to deal with.
Retail price: $299.00US
If anyone out there has these, then feel free to comment on their functionality.
